Write names inside all ballet & tap shoes. Label all/any personal belongings your dancer may bring into class (dance bags, stuffed toys, jackets). Tie ballet slippers, knot and cut excess.
NO SIBLINGS are allowed in the dance room during class. We are allowing siblings to wait with a parent in the lobby. Please be sure to supervise your child so they do not become disruptive to the class in session. The dancing school bathroom is reserved for dancers only, unless there is an emergency in the waiting room.
If you are observing, or feel the need to stay, please arrange a sitter for your other child(ren). Thank you for your understanding in this matter.

Daddy Dance
You are cordially invited to joint us for Daddy Dance. It will be held on March 1st and 2nd, 2010 from 3:00 to 8:00 pm. Our performance location will be on the campus of St. Andrews School in Engelhard Hall. Your child’s exact day and time is listed below. There is no ticket fee for this event. Your class tuition covers any fees. Please remember that there will be no classes held at Dancing Lights, Green Acres, or TLK during this week, unless otherwise notified.
Daddy’s - During the week before Valentines Day, February 8th – 12th, 2010, you are invited to attend a practice dance session with your daughter. Please arrive 20 minutes prior to the end of her dance class for a quick instructional period. This is not required, but a fun time for all. Daycare parents, we understand that this is during the workday! If dad is not available, moms make a wonderful substitute.
Attire – Our dancers are asked to wear their favorite dress. Please be sure to bring their ballet shoes, as they will be needed for their performance.
Flowers – All ballerinas love to receive flowers! This is a traditional way to show the ballerina in your life that you truly enjoyed her performance. In the past, most of the parents have given flowers to the ballerinas. Inevitably, there is always a little ballerina who does not receive a flower and feels left out. Even a single flower with a bow will make your ballerinas hearts soar!

In Class Birthday Celebrations
It is ok to bring in a special treat to class to celebrate your daughter’s birthday. We love to help make their birthdays special. Please let us know a week in advance of your intentions to do so. This is necessary so that we can accommodate the change in dance schedule. When bringing in a treat, please bring in either napkins or paper plates to serve the treat on. Remember, we are a PEANUT and TREE NUT free school. We will notify you if there is a child in your class with any food allergies and put you in touch with their parents.

This is just a reminder that costume payments were due in November. Due to the state of the economy, we pushed off ordering costumes to give everyone time to get their money in. There are still quite a few people who have not turned in their costume fees at this time. We can delay no longer. Costumes will be ordered immediately. If you have not contacted Kristin directly to make payment arrangements, you must do so immediately or a costume WILL NOT be ordered for your child. There are NO late orders or add-ons.
When your child’s dance and costume has been decided, you will be provided with the song title and artist they are performing to (so you can get it from I-tunes or Wal-Mart music) and we will provide you with a picture of your child’s costume. Please remember to reserve any questions regarding recital dances or costumes for Miss Kristin. You will be provided with all of the information shortly.
